    Often the loose man is someone from our midfield or backline who is outside the forward line.

        Strange choice...? I thought that was close to his best game for the year...work rate was well up, and presented again and again...

          Not biased are you???

          I thought he was crap. He did have a cracking passage of play in the last quarter I'll admit, but the rest was like everyone else, @@@@.

            I thought Goodes tried hard and showed some promising signs, but wasn't particularly effective. Certainly for a dual Brownlow medallist you'd expect an awful lot more from him.

            Just on that, I think Goodes is the most inconsistent Brownlow medallist since Shane Woewodin, and you'd have to go back the the mid or early 1980s to find another. Certainly the most inconsistent multiple winner I can think of.

              Naturally, I have a soft spot for him...but I thought his runs especially around the stoppages were unrewarded. He worked hard for the possessions he got, and ran all day.

              Not his best, but probably his best game this year...I was thinking that it was an odd time to list him in a worst list...

                    I must admit, I never really rated LRT as a player, but Leo is being badly exposed without him. With the hand in the back rule and age cutting down on his pace and leap, he's struggling against the bigger bodied opponents. Without LRT, we just don't have another option.

                    Hell, maybe it's time for Roos to borrow from Blight's tactic, and move Hall back?

                        Equally frustrated here. But I do take some small solace in the fact that there were a good number of 'triers', and that the performance was not insipid in the same manner that the 'Dees were on friday night.

                          BOG of the 22 that took the field on Saturday night is hardly a compliment....

                            I thought there were 44 players involved in the match.

                              Makes no difference. Their 22 wasn't that crash hot either. Ours was just so terrible.

                                Can't believe anyone could knock Goodes' game on the weekend. He's had a horror year, but I reckon his last 3 or 4 have been pretty good.

                                Bevan stopped Davis, but you have to do more than that. I cringe everytime he gets it.

                                Dempster - what he does is good, but he does very little of it.

                                Mathews has been OK this year, but he's definitely not the future.

                                Hall's form will turn around. He worked hard, got himself into positions to mark but dropped them. He's just down on confidence.

                                Schneider is struggling, but I wouldn't drop him.

                                Not sure how McVeigh continues to get a game. Had a good season in 2006, but just hasn't gone on with it.
